PEORIA — Like a hospital emergency
room, the American Red Cross must be prepared to provide blood for
patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year. It's
the blood already on the shelves and readily available that can be
lifesaving for people like Chris Salinas

Salinas was a horse trainer who was seriously injured in an accident
when a horse pinned him to the pavement. He and his family said they
credit the multiple blood transfusions he received with helping him
recover.

Type O-negative blood is especially
needed right now. O-negative is the universal blood type and can
potentially be transfused to patients with any type.

To help ensure the shelves are
stocked for patients in need, the Red Cross has scheduled two
upcoming blood donation opportunities in Logan County:

To make an appointment to donate
blood, or for more information, call 1-800-RED CROSS
(1-800-733-2767) or visit
redcrossblood.org. All blood types are needed to ensure a
reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver's
license, or two other forms of identification, are required at
check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental
consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in
generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school
students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to
meet certain height and weight requirements
